Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 There are various uncertainties in the design, construction, and operation of dams. These uncertainties have an important impact on the seismic response and seismic safety evaluation of concrete dams. In this research, a typical nonoverflow monolith of a

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT What are the conditions under which business corporations expand their institutional power? This paper argues that institutional power is affected by the architecture of the “acquisition regime”—the set of formal (and informal) rules that govern how states purchase public services.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Debris flows over riverbeds generate intense basal force fluctuations that radiate seismic signals, offering a key tool for remotely monitoring their dynamics. In steep, highly erosive mountainous channels, bedrock is often covered by a thin layer of loose sediments, which significantly reduce seismic energy.

Pseudo‐dynamic testing of a concrete gravity dam
, 2015 Inspired from the simplified single degree of freedom modeling approach used in the preliminary design of concrete gravity dams, a pseudo-dynamic testing method was devised for the seismic testing of a concrete gravity dam section.

Seismic analysis of Fractured Koyna Concrete Gravity Dam
, 2023 Seismic analysis of a fractured dam is a generally complex problem. This paper presents an earthquake behavior investigation of a fractured concrete gravity dam considering dam-reservoir-foundation rock interaction.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 482-495, June 2026.ABSTRACT In the last several years, disaster insurance programs around the world have experienced disruptions that many observers interpret to be a primary symptom of “climate crisis” (Bittle 2024). Governments have responded to these disruptions through disjointed and at times contradictory measures: they treat disasters, alternately, as “Acts of God”

Development of methology for seismic design of concrete gravity dam [PDF]
, 2014 Earthquake analysis and earthquake resistance design of dams is of major importance because of the catastrophic consequences if such a structure is to fail.

Study of structural stability of a concrete gravity dam using a reliability approach�
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2022 Dam safety is a priority at the international level, it requires a large amount of data that allows analysts to make optimization on its structural stability, the latter is based on the estimation of the probability of failure from the effects of stress ...
